One of my favorite Christmas traditions has always been decorating! After we got married and purchased a house I couldn't wait to decorate. I felt the same way as the holidays approached this year in our new home! I have always loved trees and said once I had the space I would like to have more! This year we had a total of three trees! We had one in our living room, one in Ella Ruth's room, and one in our dining room. The ornaments on the tree in our living room are ones Preston and I have collected over the years. Some were given to us and some we have gotten as well. We try to get new ornaments each year to represent places we have traveled or fun things we have done. This year we added a popcorn ornaments to highlight Ella Ruth's first birthday party theme. Next year I plant to add a new home ornaments, DISNEY ornaments (more on that later), and pancakes of course! :)
Ella Ruth's tree features the ornaments she has gotten in her short two years of life! I cannot believe how many she has already! The tree in our living room has my Disney ornaments I have collected throughout my life on it. It is even complete with my Minnie Ears I got on my first trip back in 1989!
Other than the trees I did not go over board. I kept it simple and did not buy anything new. Now that we have had one Christmas I have thought of some new ways to "dress up" our front porch that I hope to try out next year! I would also like to add a fourth tree! I already have an idea! It will either be a fire truck theme or baseball (New York Yankees to be more specific). I think I will let the hubby decide! I hope to put this tree in our room or on our screen porch.
